Hot water warmth

[ThePhoenics]

Having just suffered a cold, drinking piping hot water really does warm the body up a treat, and having freshly boiled hot water giving the player the warming up benefit would be a nice simple intuitive way to keep the warmth of a fire with you when heading into very cold conditions without needing a specific food resource for it.

Yeah, I just mean instead of having to use reishi, rose hip or birch bark teas, you could easily still get the warmth with no calories just from plain water.

Surely it's not realistic but it's meant to give more value to canned food and teas. Warming up with water would be too easy, multiplying the value of even a small campfire. Now that birch bark tea has made its appearence we even have a renewable warm and healthy drink, so using warm water would be cheesy.

I think I prefer just making the Hot Coffee and Teas, sorry...

yeah very fair point, renewability was the main thing that I thought about and with birch bark its now a non-finite resource. Also yeah probably would make it too easy to stay warm lol
